"Added a Sunroom and turned an unfinished basement into an apartment. Distinctive Design did a fantastic job. They were more than willing to work with me when I wanted to change the dimensions of a room because they understand things can change. They kept to their promised schedule and were great to work with. I highly recommend Distinctive Design Remodeling."

"Carlos did an excellent job with our basement bathroom. Our bathroom looks better than I could have imagined. Our house was built in 1950, and the basement was completely unfinished. Now itâ s beautiful and functional. Carlos answered all the questions I had, and explained what he was doing during the whole renovation. We will definitely be hiring for future projects. Carlos was very professional, kind and courteous, and I highly recommend him to anyone doing home improvements."

"My back kitchen wall had severe water damage that ruin most of the drywall and rotted window sill inside and out. We had two really old windows and decided to go to one. We had them to replace the drywall, outside wood which included reframing the window and covering the previous window. The also painted to match the colors inside and out. Also had the to replace a piece of the floor by the back door because it had became soft and while doing that check the joists and other floor in that area. Mike Cash came out for the estimate and was courteous and informative. He did all that he could to keep the project as low as possible. The crew took 3 1/2 days to complete the project. Steven and Jon worked hard and efficient. They explain the steps and answered my questions. We have a dog and they made sure the gate stayed close while they were there. They were very knowledgeable. They were pleasant and friendly. The cost for the project was a very fair price. Definitely will hire them again."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Yes, barndominiums can have basements. Barndominiums are typically built over concrete slabs, so barndo basements are not very common. However, it is possible to include a basement in a barndominium blueprint as long as you’re building completely from scratch. Barndos can have the same types of basements as traditional homes, including full or walk-out basements.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.

Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.
